National Days in February – Love – Presidents – Food and More!

This calendar of National Days in February will give you an easy way to look over the month to find out which national days we will celebrate with food, drink or crafts. This month we turn to thoughts of love, memories of our Presidents and even a peek at Punxsutawney Phil the Groundhog!

February is the second month of the year and the shortest with only 28 days, unless leap year gives it 29. It is the third month of winter in the Northern Hemisphere but the last month of summer in the Southern. The name of the month comes from the Latin word “februum” which means purification. Along with January, it is one of the last two months added to the Roman calendar.

The birthstone of February is amethyst , birth flowers are violets and primroses and the zodiac sign is Aquarius up to February 19 and Pisces beyond that date.

The calendar below lists the National Days of February, day by day. Some of the days have links to pages on my site where you can find more information about that fun national day. This is a page under constructions. All of the special days are shown below, but I am gradually adding pages with more information to the site. I update this page often with new links and fun facts about your favorite national day so be sure to check back soon.
